Automatic Battery Pack Charging Function
To charge the battery, while the battery pack is in the notebook, plug the
AC adapter into the notebook and an electrical outlet.
The charging time is approximately 3-4 hours when the notebook is
turned off and approximately 6-7 hours when the notebook is turned on.
When the battery is fully charged, the battery charge indicator becomes
off.

temperature environment, the battery may not be fully charged. You
need to continue to charge it with the AC adapter plugged in until the
charging LED turns off.

Windows 7 has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon in
the Windows taskbar indicating when the notebook is running on
battery power or is attached to the AC adapter.
This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge is
remaining in the battery.
